The Lifestyle Photography Experience — Real & Candid
My approach to documentary-style photography is all about balance - a mix of clear, intentional direction and space for natural moments to unfold. Before we start shooting, I’ll walk you through what we’re aiming to capture and share my creative vision. The way my photographer brain works, I’m always looking for the frame first - maybe it’s a warm beam of light, a beautiful backdrop, or the texture of a quiet corner. From there, I think about the story I want to tell with you in it. I’ll guide you with simple prompts and direction, leaving plenty of room for your personalities to shine through.
DIRECTION
I love when clients bring their own ideas to the table - it’s what makes every session unique. Have a Pinterest mood board or a vision you’d like to share? Send it my way! While I can’t promise we’ll recreate every pose exactly, I can promise to translate the feeling and energy behind your inspiration into something that feels like you. If there’s a location or moment you’d love to try during the shoot, let me know! While I’m there to lead and create flow, I also believe in making space for collaboration so your session feels true to your story.
COLLABORATION
As a documentary-style photographer, I know when to step in - and when to step back. Some of the best moments happen when things don’t go exactly as planned. Maybe the kids won’t look at the camera, or the pose turns into something completely different - and that’s where the magic happens. I’ll gently guide you back into connection with each other, because the real beauty lies in the laughter, the movement, and the in-between moments that unfold naturally. My goal is to create an experience where you can simply be yourselves, while I document the honest, joyful chaos of real life - the kind of moments that turn into lifelong memories.
